Can you reccomend a good pistolsmith?
I have a Kimber 1911 Custom II Stainless in 9mm that needs a lot of work. This gun has never shot even decently since I bought it new. I need someone who does good work on 1911's. New barrel and bushing, extractor, etc. Don't even go there with Kimber service dept. I was there and got the royal runaround from them. Will never, ever buy another Kimber. Some smith near northeast PA would be great, but I will ship it to wherever it has to go. Thanks for any help you can give with this.

I'm sure Cylinder & Slide can help you out.
Edit:
Or the usual suspects like Wilson Combat, Ed Brown and Les Baer.
